Day of the Dead Clip Art

Skeleton Day of the Dead Clip Art - Dia de los Muertos Graphics

Day of the Dead - Dia de los Muertos - is a Mexican celebration of departed souls that occurs just after Halloween, on November 1. Day of the Dead abounds in skeleton clip art and skulls graphics for decorations, art and costume. Decorated skulls and skeletons dressed as living characters are the major theme of Day of the Dead clip art and graphics.

I love the artistic combinations and use of bright fiesta colors with the stark white and black of the bones. Here's my collection of Day of the Dead clip art and favorite graphics for Dia de los Muertos, with a few skeleton and skull crafts tossed in for fun.

Day of the Dead skull graphic graphic used for this lens is a colored in version of one of my original printable skull skcoloring pages available at LeeHansen.com.

Dia de los muertos is not Halloween, Mexico-style. It's celebrated on All Souls Day (November 1) and is a Mexican family celebration to honor the memory and life of deceased relatives. Shrines are built, picnics at the cemetary are planned, dancing and celebration are the order of the day and night.

I first learned about dia de los muertos about 20 years ago, when I was browsing in a handcrafts shop in Massachusetts. The shop's display of many tiny skeleton statues, ornaments and jewelry intrigued me and caught my eye, and the small informational cards near each arrangement explained the meaning and traditions of the holiday.
